To all to 7mm it mar concern Refit known that l, JOSEPH Gosrnwsm, a citizen of Russian Poland, residing at Utic" in the county of Oneida and Eltalc of New a York, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Dough-Cutting; Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to though cutting machines, and has special reference to machines for cutting small cakes known to bakers as cookies. ti

The primary object oi? the invention is to provirle a machine of particular advantage to bakers, who bake quantities oi? small cakes or cookies which are cut from rolled dough. by means of cutters whose edges have a circular or other representative contour By the process which is known to me to be practically universal in use at this time, a mass. of dough is first rolled out into a thin layer which must depend. for its thickness and uniformity upon the expcrtness of thei halter. after which the cakes are cut out by "means of individual cutters which are pushed through. the i011 gh to term the 'zakee. Tlhie is obviously a leln and tedious: p ocesa where it nee w calres or cookies in large (niantities. therefore devised the iimcliine oi? the pres ejnt invention wherein a number cutte'ai in the provision of a means for rolling the layer of dough to a uniform thickness hetero the cutter members are brought into contact therewith so that it is not necessary 1 to (invent! upon the erqiertneee of the halter I toinsure a uniform thickneeeto the lot of cakes-in a halting. Also. in this connection it is the intention to proviile the preliminary rolling); mechanism with an aclj uetalole support, with which is associated an. inclieatimg; 1 mechanism. so that by a preliminary arljustment of the support the layer oi? dough ill he rolleel to a uniform thiolmcss hich in 'ermineti.

so that the flour layer will prevent the dough from sticking to the cutters they cut into the latter and the sugar layer may herolled into the dough in ordeinto provide the cliaracterietic heature of that type of small cakes In this connec known as sugar cookies. tion, there 1s provided a means for shutting; off the sugar supply so that when it is clesiretl' to make cake?- of another style, the

an in-shaped nun-port 4 and an inwardly exfurthermore spaced from the rnemhers l in a suitable manner so as to provide therche meeuee oi? iuistlee 39 radiete. The sets of bristle 9 extend throughout the length of the shaft and Me arranged to brush against theiuieifior surfuce of the cylinder 29 so as to act as agitators uncl distributors for the mute 'ul which paseesifi'om the compartment 26 into the cylinclez! A similar shaft 40 has its heei'iugs in (he heads of the cylinder 33, uncl also curries the similar series of bristles 41 which engage with theinterioisurface of the cylinder 33 so to aid in. the distributiou of the nmteriul which passes from the compartment "2 into the cylinder 33. The end of the shaft 38 exteui'ls beyond one end of the cvlincler so that there me be so cured thereon a sprocket Wheel 4:2 over which 5 chain 43 passes. ates over it large sprocket wheel 4% which is secured upon. the shaft 1.7, so that us the cutter 0 lincler rotated tin-ou h the contact of the cutters with the dough surface, the shaft 38' Will be rot-utecl through the connecting chain l3. The opposite end of the shaft 38 provided with a gem: Wheel which meshes with 'a similar Wheel 46 mounted upon the pi'ojectecl encl of the shaft e0 which is jour imlecl'in the lie-eels of thc'cylinder so that the main shaft 17 will be connected to the shaft 33. In this manner, provision is made for the'coutiuuous agitation of the materials delivered from the hopper 23 to the si'lter cylinders when the machine is in operation- To order to provide aconvenient means for directing and pushing the cutter across the surface, the ends of the shaft 17' are extended beyond. the side frames and carry on the extended portions the freely rotatable hunrl grips M. In preparing; the device for use, the rollers 14 and are udjusti vertically to the necessary height ulume the surface oft-he table to determine the rlesired thickness of the cakes to he cut, the vertical adjustment being accomplished by rotating the screws 7 the screws have couuecteol thereto sleeves which carry inilm; or pointers 48 which overlie the inoicoioi clislis 49. noted into suitable sub-divisions which in clout-0 the hei ht of the rollers uhove the cutting: surface so that as "the machine is rolled 0W the layer of dough. the rollers 14- 11ml 1?) will primarily cmupuess= it to-the plngliir hicl-rue s. The cutter cylinder rotut: fzhl"i l'li5 'ijolli lfi illi! cuts the comer therefrom the eels in aleucmbeih the sitter The chain 43 also oper Suki disks are grad-i- -i'ers.

'5; layer of dough the plate; are uusl cylimtler 29 is positioned just forward. of the roller ll, so that flour contained in the com pertinent :26 will be sifted thereby on to the dough prior to the passage thereover of the roller M, the letter thus rolling the flour into the Llough and. preparing it for the clean passage of the cutter blades therethrough. Likewise, the sitter cylinder 33 stands just fOIWlld of the roller 15, so that sugar contained Within the compartment 2'? may be distributed upon. thelclough surface and. compressed into the dough. Then, the banks of cutters are passed over the dough and. in view of the fact that the cutters are arranged in circular series the layers of dough of any length can be cut intoblanke by a, single passage of the machine there over. In the operation just described, the process of making so called sugar cookies was set forth, butwhere it is desired to make cooki s or cakes without the sugar coating, the valve 35 is rotated to cut off the passage of material from the vpassage 27 to the cylinilei 33, so that only the flour is sifted on to the surface of the dough. Obviously, other material 'thausugar may be plamd in the compartment 27 for distribution on to the dough surface to make cakes of other kinds.

The machine which have been described constitutes a simple and effective instrument for use in bakeries of various sizes, since the ilmchine cu-n successfully be embodied 1n various sizes, and its use is equally successful in hotels, large housholcls, and. other eslablishments wherein cakes of this kind are made iii, quantities. V

While 1' have described one preferred em bodiment of the u'mchinc. it Will of course, lie within the scope of the invention to make numerous changes in the details of construction without departing from the spirit of the invention 01 the limits of the claims.

For instance, it is sometimes necessary to provide ejectih; levices in the interstices between the several cutters 20, so that the general triangular pieces of dough which are left by the cuttingof the circular cakes "ill not adhere between the cutters and l3ecome packer} therein For this puz'pose ejecting plates 50 are fitted between the cut has, as shown in the modificetion of Fig. 10 the plzttes 50 being supported by stems 51 which operate in the tubular guides; 52 mounted on. theqylinfler 1.9. The stems 51. are held in position by means of cross pies 54 which a re carried by the stems and operate in slots 53 formed in the wells of the guides 52 coil springs which are also carried by the stems normally throwing the plates; 50 into that position Where they note mull}- closeihe interstices between the out Then. when the machine is run over inwardly by the dough es iheyyome in c:

tact "it the latter, but as soon as the cutrtei1s iavejthe dough, the plates are pushed ivjardly bytheir springs 55 so that the littletriangular dough sections are forced a v fr the interstices, thereby preventing the clogg i ofithe machine.
